Cheboygan Memorial Hospital has a scholarship for students with at least a 3.0 GPA that are going in to the health care field.  See Mrs. Jarema for an application.  Completed applications are due by March 15th.

Delta Kappa Gamma has a $500 for female seniors going in to education.  See Mrs. Jarema for an application; completed applications are due back to her by March 5th.

The MME includes the ACT on March 9th, WorkKeys tests on March 10th, and Michigan developed tests on March 11th.

The ACT includes tests in English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing.  Students can learn more about the ACT and try practice questions at www.actstudent.org.  The ACT scores our juniors will receive can be used when they apply to college in the fall of 2010.

All students going to college next year should fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) no matter what your family income is.  By applying you can see if you qualify for Pell grants and will have access to cheaper student loans.  The earliest you can apply is January 1st and the latest you should submit your application is February 28th. 

Inland Lakes Schools high school teacher Bekki Heckman recently received a check for $2,700 from Northeast Michigan Community Foundation. These monies represent a grant from the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative Project Fund for the school’s Sturgeon River Stream Monitoring Program.

Teachers at Inland Lakes Schools are busy building bridges from one school building to the next. Frank Holes Jr. (Middle School) and Dan Fletcher (High School) both teachers with Inland Lakes Schools started work together to improve students writing skills a few years ago. The two of them saw real value in their work as they watched students improve their written communication skills.

Inland Lakes High School students and staff now can say, “Show me the money”. That is if they are going to cash a check, make a withdraw, or deposit money in their credit union account (that account can be at any area credit union).   Inland Lakes High School has recently partnered with Onaway Credit Union to open a branch on campus. The branch is student run with an adult overseeing the operations at all times. Inland Lakes is fortunate enough to have Melissa Finch a former IL graduate overseeing the program. 

WorkKeys: Applied Math and Reading for Info. (levels range from 3 to 7)  Locating Information (levels range from 3 to 6).  MME results include: Level 1 (Advanced), Level 2 (Proficient), Level 3 (Partially Proficient), and Level 4 (Not Proficient).

The Promise Scholarship (don’t know if it will exist next year): all students who took the MME will have $4000 for college after they complete 2 years with at least a 2.5.  Students that got all 1s and 2s on their MME will get $1000 of that as freshmen and $1000 of it as sophomores.

SCHOOL SONG

Blue as the vaults of heaven so high
True as the stars that shine in the sky
Colors of our Inland Lakes ever shall be our joy and pride
So we honor the Inland Lakes White and Blue
Standing for all that’s loyal and true.
We stand for right, we stand for might
All hail to the White and Blue
Let’s Go Blue!!!
